Description

This advanced course taught over 3 afternoons includes highly-specific daily programmes that have been included to make a big difference on your radiological report.

The course will be based on around an individual and group case review followed by short lectures.

The first day will include some difficult topics on the foot and ankle such as the high ankle sprain, midtarsal sprain, different types of ankle impingement and the differential diagnosis of metatarsalgia.

The second day will look at some specific problems on the instable and microinstable shoulder together with the new concepts on the rotator cuff that should be reported following ISAKOS classification system.

The last day we will cover some specific problems of the knee that are frequently overlooked on radiological reports such as the posterior corners of the knee and the different types of meniscal tears following the ISAKOS system.

In addition, we will review important incidental findings, pseudo tumours and tumours found on joint MRI studies that radiologists should be aware of, in order to avoid important mistakes. We will also review normal variants that look pathological and some frequent benign tumours that might be as frequent as incidental findings, among others. Moreover we will emphasize which radiological findings indicate to us the more aggressive lesions.

In an intimate online setting, you will enhance and strengthen your own and each other’s knowledge in structured musculoskeletal MRI reading. After the case reading sessions you will maintain access to the cases to keep practicing.

If this Online Fellowship has been successful it will have provided you with knowledge that can help you address your normal clinical challenges, as well as future pursuits.

TMC Academy fellowships are held in a virtual classroom environment on Zoom. Participants are encouraged to engage in discussions making use of their camera and microphone in order to recreate the face-to-face experience.

Online sessions are recorded so that participants can review on their own time following the training.

In this small group environment among your peers, you are free to ask questions, make mistakes, and learn together with the support of the radiologist mentor.

This fellowship is organised by TMC Academy, an EACCME Trusted Provider.


Testimonials:

"Very practical approach. Knowledge, that has the potential to last over the period of the course, because of the accessible learning material. Great!"
Alessa Krawinkel, Specialised Doctor in Hospital, Switzerland (Fellow, Dec 2022)

"Very useful in daily practise, interesting cases and good explanation of findings."
Dr. Judit Borbélyné Pap, Radiologist, Sweden (Fellow, Dec 2022)

"The fellowship was an amazing way to review a wide range of cases of MSK pathology. Prof Llopis was very enthusiastic and open to answer all our questions. But keep in mind this in advanced course, so you should already know all your "basics" around MSK radiology."
Dr. Ana Teresa Vilares, Radiologist, Unilabs, Portugal (Fellow, Dec 2022)

"It is such a privilege to be able to try and absorb as much as possible from such great experienced, probably top ten in the world, and specialized radiologist. Wow! Thank you!"
Dr. Anne Aalto, general radiologist, Sweden (Fellow, Dec 2022)

"Excellent online fellowship overall. Technical aspects were the best; no problem at all with accessing cases and zoom meeting. Prompt upload of material. Eva was outstanding in every aspect. Very knowledgeable, very keen, adapts her teaching and explanation to the level of the candidate and provides excellent lectures and case collection. She provides tips useful for people with MSK experience and also knowledge for candidates with less MSK knowledge. Highly recommended."
Dr. Omar Abdulla, United Kingdom (Fellow, Dec 2022)

"Great course. MSK radiology is the daily work in our practice. Missing the diagnosis may result in a life-long disability. This course is great in highlighting important MSK problems"
Dr. Anees Jwad, Radiologist, United Kingdom (Fellow, Dec 2022)

"Dr Eva Llopis managed to cover very significant MSK lesions that can some times be missed by a general radiologist, and even MSK specialist. The set up of focused short lectures followed by active discussion of a large number of cases made me fully engaged in the three days course. I would like to thank her so much. Organization and proper IT support and the use of PACS system to go through the images are very successful features of this on fellowships from TMC academy."
Dr. Magdy Soliman, Consultant Radiologist, United Kingdom (Fellow, Dec 2022)

"Excellent fellowship with a perfect mixture of case discussion and lectures. Very interesting cases that will lead to more in-depth reporting. Eva is an excellent teacher also with a lot of practical knowledge as to the expectations of orthopaedic surgeons which is important for reporting."
Dr. Henry Bartlett, Radiologist, Mossel Bay South Africa (Fellow, June 2022)

"Very well presented and up-to-date materials with variety of good real case examples to demonstrate and endorse the basic and advanced MSK knowledge."
Dr. Saif Jameel; The Prince Charles Hospital, Australia (Fellow, June 2022)

"Thanks a lot. Very happy with this course - Strongly recommended."
Dr. Alejandro Jaramillo Jimenez, Radiologist, Colombia (Fellow, June 2022)

"I want to thank Eva Llopis very much for this very interesting course. I learned a lot especially what regards the needs of the orthopaedic surgeons. The selection of the cases was excellent and I especially liked the case summaries with additional information to the pathology. The course was very interactive and that was the best aspect since things that I have actively thought through, I will recollect easier in the future."
Dr. Petra Kullnig, Radiologist, TMC, Germany (Fellow, June 2022)

"Great course and outstanding teacher. The case mix and lectures are excellent. I would highly recommend this course."

Dr. Ashutosh Prakash, Senior Consultant Radiologist, Tan Tock Seng Hospital, Singapore (Fellow, Nov 2021)

"Thank you to the TMC Academy and to Dr. Llopis for organising this course. The course material and cases for discussion were well-balanced. Some of the cases discussed gave me answers to questions I faced in my practice.”
Dr. Katerina Tsokova, Consultant Radiologist, Emerson Green Practice Plus Group Hospital, United Kingdom (Fellow, May 2021)

"Extremely useful training with an interesting variety of cases presented. I loved the PACS system and the fact that we had access to the cases. I learned how to use ISAKO for shoulder and knee reporting. I learned better ways to structure reports and what the surgeons really want to know.”
Dr. Obiora Mann Ajuluchukwu, Radiologist, United Kingdom (Fellow, May 2021)

"I’m very satisfied with this training with Dr. Llopis and would recommend it to others. The lecturer, lectures, and presentation were perfect! It brought to me new knowledge, and a new valuable approach in solving different cases.”
